Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Injury Replacement Pickups

Injury Outlook

Dallas Goedert suffered a fractured forearm in Week 9
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a fractured forearm in the team’s Week 9 win over Dallas.

Fantasy Impact

Goedert will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the damage. The start tight end will definitely miss some time and could end up on injured reserve depending on his recovery timeline. Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, and Albert Okwuegbunam should all see a bump in playing time with Goedert out.

Waiver Wire Replacements to Target

Hunter Henry (NE): 38% rostered

• Next Opponents: IND, BYE, @NYG
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Henry finished Week 9 with a 15.9% target share as he got into the end zone for the third time this season. Henry’s 88% snap share was his highest mark since Week 2. He’s a worthy streaming candidate before and after his Week 11 bye. Indy has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards to tight ends. The Giants have given up the second-highest yards per reception to the position.

Jonnu Smith (ATL): 28% rostered

• Next Opponents: ARI, BYE, NO
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Smith will undoubtedly finish Week 9 with his fourth TE1 finish of the season after he said, “Kyle Pitts … who is that?” While Pitts’ managers will pull their hair out over this, we don’t need to let out our rage on Jonnu. He tied for the team lead with six targets, turning them into 100 receiving yards and a score. As infuriating as Falcons head coach Arthur Smith can be, Jonnu has been a nice piece of fantasy fallout from the wacky usage we see in Atlanta. He will continue to hover around TE1 status weekly.

Luke Musgrave (GB): 22% rostered

• Next Opponents: @PIT, LAC, @DET
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Musgrave looked healthier this week after an ankle issue has slowed him in recent weeks. He played 83% of the offensive snaps and made the most of his 15.3% target share by leading the team with 51 receiving yards and getting into the end zone. Jordan Love‘s level of play continues to be a concern for every pass catcher in the Green Bay offense, but Musgrave can continue to stack top-12 weeks if Love can get him catchable targets. The Chargers and Lions are wonderful matchups for tight ends, allowing the 12th-most and second-most fantasy points to the position.

Cade Otton (TB): 5% rostered

• Next Opponents: TEN, @SF, @IND
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Otton is coming off his finest game of the season. He destroyed the Houston Texans, but almost every tight end has done so this year. Prior to Week 9, Houston had allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Still, Otton has been a fine streaming option. Including his banner performance in Week 9, he has had four games with at least six targets and has surpassed 40 receiving yards three times. He’ll remain on the streaming radar moving forward.
